Chapter 47: Battle Coaching and List Summon
I'm in a party with Rook and Tyrol and we've come to the Beginning Meadow. My summoned beast is Lily the Boar Hunter.
"Have you two ever been in combat?"
"Not yet"
"Me neither"
Umm. If they haven't, should I show them a good example?
"I don't know if it'll help you at first, but I'll show you a battle. First, I'll show you Rook's example"
"Y, Yes! Well then, let's break up the party"
Rook tried to dismiss the party, but was interrupted.
"You can leave it as it is"
"Eh? Is that okay? I heard you'll lose experience"
"I don't mind. It'll only take a minute anyway and it'll help us both raise our levels"
When I said that, they were both stunned. Well, they'll probably be more stunned than that. Now, let's have Boar-san show up.
"T, Too amazing..."
"This is the battle of a top player..."
The result was the same as always, Lily was the only one to finish him off.
"In my case, I basically leave the melee combat to the summoned beast, while I heal, assist, support with magic and provide cover"
"Will Gobuna be okay?"
That's the problem.
"I can't say anything unless I look at the battle, but if it's a boar you're dealing with, there's no danger unless you're right in front of it. I'm sure you'll have no problem with the boar as long as you instruct it properly"
"I, I see...it seems that the only attack is rush"
I think it's okay if you can understand it. Next, I will replace Lily and summon Gray. It's a 6-person party, so I have to change it one by one. However, if I use Legion, the experience points will be further reduced and it will be dangerous, so be patient here.
"Then next, I will show you the Wolf's example. Gray, please"
"Gau"
Then, like Lily, I will show the example of combat. The opponent is a boar. And the battle ends easily.
"Amazing...I mean...it was like A-Un breathing"
"It's not that big of a deal. Wolves are basically smart. They'll adapt to your movements to some extent"
As I said, I have an image that Gray understands his role and acts without me telling him what to do. And when I tried it this time, I was right. Gray was able to flank the onrushing boar and bite it to get it to focus on him. He then ran around the field, stalling for time and then I killed the boar with magic. It was a perfect job.
"Yes...do you think I should concentrate on my magic too?"
"Maybe. I think the basic idea is for the wolf to draw the enemy's attention and then shoot magic"
"I, I understand"
Good, let's start real monster hunting. I'll summon Ion in place of Gray.
"Then, let's all try fighting. We'll basically leave the close combat to Gobuna and Gonta. If things get dangerous, Ion can follow up on them"
"I'll leave it to you"
"You two concentrate on your magic. If the boar comes, don't worry, I'll take care of it"
""Understood!""
The result was good. Both Gobuna and Gonta were working well together. After Gonta bites from the side, Gobuna slashes it from the opposite side with a stone sword. In the meantime, Gonta was running around, keeping the boars in check. Rook's wind magic and Tyrol's fire magic were completed and the number of boars was reduced.
"I didn't have a turn"
"It's better not in this case"
So the battle ended without us having to come into play.
"We won..."
"It was a close call, but..."
"That's how it goes at first"
I didn't have that much trouble because I started with Lily, but the first battle was horrible. Lily attacked the boar from the front and the boar came to me...that? Am I losing to both of them in terms of coordination?
It's just my imagination. Let's forget it. There was something I forgot to mention.
"By the way, have you already done a magic stone summon today?"
"Ah, right, it was once a day, right?"
"Yes. If you're going to summon something, the sooner you do it, the better. The sooner you do it, the sooner you can level up"
So, we headed to the Beastmaster´s Guild and summoned. I've already decided what I'm going to summon today. At first I was aiming for a White Tiger, but now that I've registered a new monster, I want to summon it. So I'd like to summon it. That's why I prepared a magic stone and executed the list summon. Now, I wonder if it's been added.
Wolf
Tiger
Owl
Chick
Spider
Bee
Oh! There's more of them! Speaking of which, if a goblin appears in the magic stone summon, does that mean it'll be registered in the list summon? I'll ask Rook to identify it later. Then let's summon it!
The magic stone floated up and was sucked into the magic circle. Then it shone and a lovely monster appeared. And my summoning magic has leveled up. Now, I've already decided on a name. So here's the name and the monster I summoned!
Name Hiyori Chick Lv1
Vitality 6
Magic Power 2
Strength 2
Defense 2
Agility 8
Dexterity 2
Skills
Flight Lv1
This is a name that could be given to a human girl. I dared to name it in hiragana for the sunny weather. Yeah, it's a painful escape, I think to myself. I've recognized that it's important to know where to evolve. Because there is a possibility that there is a chicken in the evolutionary destination and it is unknown what kind of bird it will become. For example, if I named it Pyoko and someone said, 「It's a chicken」, I wouldn't have anything to say...I would be embarrassed. I desperately tried to avoid that.
And the status in question...weak! The weakest I've ever had! It looks like the people who summoned a chick early on are having a hard time. I guess it helps that it can fly in the sky?
As I was thinking this, Hiyori desperately tried to move her wings to fly, but it was only able to fly a few inches...what? The monster chick was flying pretty high up in the sky, but what was it? Well, that's okay. It's cute.
As I walked out with Hiyori in my hand, the two of them were just coming out too. It was a bat that Tyrol had summoned. Oh, by the way, you can summon them, right? I'll identify it later.
And Rook was the second goblin. ...It seems I've just witnessed the birth of a goblin summoner.
"What to do now…"
To be honest, I don't know what to do. Well, all I can say is good luck as a goblin summoner.

Author note:
Regarding the character status display, I thought it would be better to write the summoned initial characters in the text, so I'll write the initial characters in the text.
New companions will appear next time. Please look forward to it.
